I have read every single update to this thread, every day. I have never posted but have always wished you would make and it and dreaded this day.

Know that you have inspired me and others countless times, and really showed what it means, and how important it is to live a real life.

Don't know you at all Ed. Followed the thread lightly recently because I'd hoped you had it beat. Saw the lounge name had changed and my heart sank. Sat and read through today's posts and wept for a good bit. Times like this makes me so thankful for all the amazing folks here on the Planet.

I'm really sorry for everything you have had to endure. I'll pray that God makes these last days as gentle as possible. Much love, peace, and prayers to you good sir.

Speechless, Thank you for your inspiration. You will be remembered.

I've never met you, but through following this thread and reading about your battle I feel like I've gotten to know a bit about you. I logged on tonight and saw the lounge name and assumed the worst. After reading the recent posts I have to admit I shed a few tears. You have had a positive impact on this place and you will be missed.

My heart hurts for you, Ed. I am so sorry for your prognosis.

I remember that you wrote that you preferred having a great piss to receiving third base a couple of years back. I was younger at the time, and didn't understand how any grown man would take that position.

Now that I am a grown man, I totally understand what you mean. Pisses always deliver. I hope you have a few more before heading that way - and I hope to see you on the other side.

I hope you have the means to be as comfortable as possible in these times. We are all thinking about you, Ed.

You keep on fighting, Mac.

Yep, the Grand. Nice little throwback to wild west days and they serve a delicious buffalo burger.

I don't know how much longer I will be able to sit at my computer and make posts, so I wanted to share something with you all now, to put my mind at ease that I got to say it. The multitude of you who have expressed such wonderful sentiments to me has been truly overwhelming. I never really thought I could inspire people, let alone to the degree you all tell me I have. My friend Chris who is a global outreach minister and goes to some nasty, scary places to bring God's word such as Ethiopia, northern India where radical Hindus rule, and Liberia said that my purpose here may well have been to show through my suffering how a man of faith in Jesus lives and how he dies. I may have brought many closer to Christ and eternal salvation and when I do pass, I will hear, "well done, my faithful servant."

I want to thank you all once again for how you have touched my life with all the prayers, support, and love these past two and a half years. It has made more of a difference in my life than I can put into words. I love you all.

You have made a difference and you are loved. God Bless you.

:sulk: Never doubt how much of an impact you've had in people's lives both here and in life. Sorry to her the news, you will be sorely missed.:crybaby:

It is, I was in there about 2 months ago buying a gift certificate,. Michael Keaton has a place around Big Timber and hangs out in there on occasion.

If there is anything we can do for you from this point on, just say the word Ed. I know there are a lot of people including myself that really care about you, so don't be shy if we can help in any way.

Ed, I know I've never commented on here, but that doesn't mean I haven't been paying attention. You have been one hell of an inspiration to alot of people, including myself. You have fought one hell of a fight. God bless you good sir.

That gave me tears. To a brother in Christ, a post like this means more than anything. Just as Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross and did God's will, you're doing the same by showing us the fruits of your Holy Spirit, and I too, hope many come to Christ by seeing your life lived by faith as an example for all.

You fought the fight, you finished the race, you kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7

God bless, my brother in Christ.

Ed, you have shown us that. May your last days the be consumed with your faith and the sweetest days that your faith has ever known.
